"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

TO HAVE AND TO HAVE NOT
THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES
and now Lauren Bacall has joined THE BIG
SLEEP
We knew and loved here in those Raymond
Chandlers
Young she was and he was married.Two
children later,Bogie left us
She had her third child with Jason
Robards/he her last husband
And less of her onscreen in noir black and
white dreams
still she grew in stature as we all grew
older
Love Bogie?Love Bacall!All their pairings
were passionate
Sizzling screens on and off-a part of all
our adolescences
We all aged with her,recalling her finest
moments
89 cycles later,she leaves us-to re-watch
her roles
when young and bright and
sparkling
in films that bear re-screening.From 1940s
to 2015
for us -Lauren Bacall will always be
alive!
